APR 7

FIRST FRIDAY’S CONCERTS oil if you didn’t have a lot from the sausage. Stir in greens and garlic; cook and stir 4-5 minutes longer or until greens are wilted.

Unroll crust into a 9-in. pie plate, flute edge. Fill with broccoli mixture and sausage. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, milk, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Swiss cheese; pour over vegetables. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.

Notes:

You can really get creative and add in or sub any other veggie you like. Mushrooms are great to add in also, and we have some amazing local mushroom growers at farmer’s markets. If you want to make a vegetarian quiche, just omit the sausage. Use ¼ cup of olive oil at the beginning to cook up the onions and broccoli.

Omit the crust for gluten-free options. Quiche tastes delicious even without the crust or you can make a crust out of potatoes. Just use a bag of frozen hashbrowns and add seasonings and a little olive oil. Spread it out in your pie plate and bake 20 min at 400 degrees before adding the fillings and baking again.

If you have a lot of extra filling you can make a second quiche or just pour the mixture into muffin tins and bake until cooked through. These make a great grab and go breakfast on busy mornings or tasty and nutritious snacks.
